Estes AstroVision - 1st launch

[MonsterRocket]

Just got back from the park where we launched the new Estes Astrovision. It was kind of windy so I used a B6-4 and a 12 inch parachute (instead of the 18in it came with).
Here's the video on Youtube - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FFa4rz8Uqw0

Was that the entire video? I thought you'd get 30 sec out of it....

I think I'm going to rig mine so the camera points down under parachute also...

That's the whole video. The AstroVision is supposed to capture 12 secoinds of video, but I actually got 16 seconds. The Oracle gets 30 seconds.

aha, another difference between the Oracle and AV (I had enquired about differences in another thread -- still haven't found a comprehansive list/thread of them...)

12 secs is pretty short. I'm almost thinking of rolling my own with a PenCam or some such.

Nice video, though!
